It depends on the deck (interior or exterior), but generally all enlisted members below Chief Petty Officer wind up scrubbing decks at some point. Depending on the ship or submarine type, there may be a division assigned for maintenance of the exterior ship's deck. On a submarine, it's known as Deck Division, and is made up of non-nuclear enlisted personnel. On a surface vessel, there is a specific division called First Division, responsible for shipboard exterior maintenance, including the decks.
Interior decks are usually maintained by offgoing watchstanders or the division responsible for the space. Most ships have a daily/watch cleanup, and a weekly shipboard cleaning schedule, and assignments are given out by the Senior Petty Officers in charge of each division.
